Belkin Premium Computer Tool Kit Tool kit

Advantages: It's got everything you need to do basic PC upgrades/ maintenance
Disadvantages: Good enough for home use, but not top quality

...Everything in the kit is of reasonable quality - it might not last forever, but it's good enough, especially for the price. Just in case you're hunting round the 'net, trying to find what's included: - Wire strippers (the cheap kind, not very good) - Chip tongs - double-ended screwdriver with "medium" flat + crosshead - syringe tweezer thingamy's (very useful for picking up dropped screws) - needlenose pliers - normal tweezers - "electrical size" flat- and cross-head double-end screwdriver - 2-way + locking Ratchet handle, plus socket fittings for Allen key/ flat and cross head and spanner pieces - Anti-static wristband (no use for fat wrists!) - pill-boxes for grub screws, etc., with some odds and ends included - a set of Allen keys. - a zip-up nylon case with elastic straps.

Advantages: Data transfer in an instant
Disadvantages: None

...Quick, easy access to all of your digital photos with the plug and play feature and drag and drop file transfer. Requirements needed are an available USB port, and Windows 98' or above. Contents provided are the Belkin USB Media Reader/Writer, a user manual and an installation cd.

Simple, effective, time saving data tranfer all available with the very cheap (£19.99) Belkin USB Media Reader/Writer. Available at all leading electrical stores(if they haven't already sold out). Only bought this piece of kit today, thus can only give a brief op but will update... Read review
